august 2007 can obama recover from a sinking dough and other bad economic news, fox news analyst peter johnson jr. replied no, but we need america to recover. so the president wins by 5 million votes and the dow is breaking records. >> yeah. i mean, you know, i used that photo of the famous dewey beats truman newspaper, and i think the sentiment is largely true. you know, it is the 24-hour news cycle here. it is a premium in the arms media wherever there's a controversy small or large in the obama administration to take the strongest position possible. this is obama's katrina, this is obama's iraq. i think it's like the bp oil spill as you mentioned. as soon as it's fixed, as soon as the website gets fixed, i think it will end up in our rearview mirror and we'll move on from it. but i really think that every reporter and pundit who declared the end of the presidency should come out and should issue a mea culpa and say you know what i got this wrong. that's okay. we all get something wrong. but i think pundit accountability would be good there. >> well, i'm going to have to leave it there. alex
